Perfectly organized private day tour to Luxor – highly recommended!

Christiane_R, May 2025

We (two adults and a fifteen-year-old) took this tour from El Quseir on April 24 and were thoroughly impressed. Our driver, Mahmoud, picked us up right on time at 5:00 AM from our hotel in a comfortable, air-conditioned car. He drove calmly and safely, and we had pleasant stops along the way for refreshments and restroom breaks. We were back at the hotel by 7:30 PM and still had plenty of time for dinner – which was important to us, as many other tours take 20 hours or more. In Luxor, we were welcomed by our German-speaking guide Ahmed, who was extremely knowledgeable and answered all our questions. The itinerary was perfectly planned: the impressive Karnak Temple, a relaxing boat ride on the Nile, a well-organized buffet lunch by the river (tasty and quick), the Colossi of Memnon, the Temple of Hatshepsut, a visit to an alabaster workshop, and finally the Valley of the Kings. We visited four tombs, including the famous tomb of Tutankhamun – truly a highlight! Everything went smoothly and we got to see a lot. The tour was top-notch and culturally enriching. We can absolutely recommend it to anyone staying at the Red Sea and interested in Egyptian history. Special thanks to Ahmed, our fantastic guide in Luxor!

Response from Host, May 2025

It’s wonderful to hear that Mahmoud provided the safe, punctual, and comfortable transportation you deserved, with well-timed breaks during your journey.

We’re especially pleased that Ahmed made such a positive impression with his expertise and attentiveness. Our guides take great pride in sharing Egypt’s remarkable history, and we’ll certainly pass along your special thanks to him. Your detailed feedback about each aspect of the itinerary – from the majestic Karnak Temple to the highlight of Tutankhamun’s tomb – is invaluable to us and helps future travelers understand the comprehensive cultural experience we strive to provide. Thank you for recommending our tour to others interested in Egyptian history. We hope to welcome you back to explore more of Egypt’s treasures on a future visit! Warm regards, eyes of egypt - Marsa Alam Team

Exhilarating ancient Egypt tour

The travelling from Marsa Alam to Luxor was exhausting, but we had modern car and good driver. Provided touris guide was a living lexicon on two legs. Recommending it, amazing feeling to be personally on a place, which has so old historical background.

Thank you for your feedback. I’m glad to hear that your journey from Marsa Alam to Luxor was enjoyable, despite the long travel. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Premium price, mediocre service

Ruud_S, Feb 2024

We must have had bad luck, but we can not be positive about this trip. Car was old (450.000km), no water, no snacks, driver drove like an idiot, almost crashed into a truck and did not speak English. Guide (lady) was hard to understand due to accent, speed and volume, also no engagement with us, just memorized trivia and then she sat somewhere in the shade until we were ready to move to the next sight. Paperwork was not in order so additional 30 mins delay at checkpoint. Lunch was at a tourist trap retaurant where they tried to scam is with exchange rate. We are happy to have seen the beautiful sights in and around luxor, but this was a premium price for a mediocre service experience. Too bad!
